Near Sacramento a couple of months back, there was a guy who was injured when he drove his car into a tree. He wasn’t wearing a seatbelt but his 12-pack was buckled in. I don’t think the story made it out of town...

“This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.”

I am not seeing it. How is the beer taking priority? Maybe the child wanted to play on the floor and they strapped the beer so it would not fall and hit the child. I apologize for bringing logic into the thread but this is a unfair attack on the parents.

Maybe they were wrong to not have the child belted (by today’s norms)but that is all. Trying to spin it as Beer>Child makes a “funny” story and all but it is not logical. Does beer like to sit on the seat? Does strapping the beer protect the beer?(How?) or the child sitting in front of it?
